Function

Displays the previous set of items
Displays the next set of items
Displays the first set of items
Displays the last set of filenames
Allows you to select the highlighted item
You can move the highlighted bar up and down the list using the cursor keys or space bar and
activate your selection by pressing ENTER.
As an alternative, you can select an item by pressing the key for the first character of the item
you wish to select. Unlike the menu windows, however, this simply highlights that item and
does not actually select it. Press ENTER to execute your selection. The reason this differs
from the menu windows is that the list may contain more than one item with the same first
character. If so, the highlighted bar moves to the first item with that character — which may
or may not be your choice. Use the cursor keys or space bar to move the highlighted bar further.
After selecting a filename from the list or manually keying in an existing filename, the Download
Data window comes up. If you enter a new filename, the next window shown is displayed.
The Download Data window lets you decide whether to append data to the existing file or
select a different filename. The Append option allows you to begin downloading the data
immediately; the Select Another option (or pressing ESC) returns you to the download data
window, in which you can enter a new filename.
Before proceeding with the download operation, make sure that the analyzer instrument is on
and in the PC/Link mode. Also, make sure the cable connection between the analyzer and the
PC is installed. If using a TVA-1000B, the PC LINK type must be “Foxboro.”
To begin downloading the data from the Download Data window, select Continue. To specify
a different filename, choose Select Another or press ESC.
The following message then appears to signal that the program is starting the download process:
Ready to receive data.
Make sure analyzer is attached and online.
... FILE DOWNLOAD IN PROGRESS...
...... DO NOT INTERRUPT.......
The following message appears when downloading is done:
DOWNLOAD COMPLETE. Press ANY KEY.
